How To Draw A Dog: A Step By Step Guide – Voyagevista9.com


Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw a dog? If so, by the end of following my guide, you will have achieved a charming illustration of an animal that to so many of us, truly are our best friends. 

Dogs, our fur covered family members that come to us in endless breeds of all shapes, beautiful shades and a vast variety of sizes. They cannot talk to us with words and yet they bring the deepest friendships, unconditional love, unforgettable moments of joy and wonderful affection. Many humans even prefer the company of dogs to anything else on this earth! 

If you are a dog owner, like me, you will be used to seeing your dog getting up to all sorts and without knowing it, you will be familiar with the way it moves around. 

From the way your dog sits, moves its head, walks along on a lead, to the way it bounds around excitedly in the fields. 

From the subtle intricacies of its personality, how it tilts its head to the side to listen intently, to its eyes looking into yours, to the way it gives you that look of ‘ please may I have another biscuit ? ‘

If you are simply a dog fan and would love to learn how to capture the essence of these wonderful animals in just a few simple steps that you can practice and build upon over time, then let’s get you all set to get started.

Even if you don’t own a dog, I have no doubt that you will have often observed them whilst out and about, or watched them in action on a screen. 

Dog owner, dog fan, absolute beginner or artist – before starting to draw our four legged best friends, it is absolutely beneficial to take a look at how they move.

Have a think about their structure and get familiar with the particular breed that you wish to draw first. 

Enjoy looking at them in life, in books and online. Notice how they move and consider that they are made up of essential organs, blood, fat, muscle and bone. 

Of course, all of these elements that make up our doggies are covered in a particular type of fur depending on the breed of the dog.
